Game Development Giant

It's true that it's serious.

But there is a big difference from what is generally called seriousness.

That is, facing these newspapers and periodicals from the past few months, Jester did not read the contents, but directly stared at the titles of the most prominent pages.

After seeing a headline that interested him, he pulled out the newspaper and put it aside.

Although Jester flipped through the pages very quickly.

But, after all, this large stack of newspapers has a lot of base. Even if he reads one in five seconds, he will need to read these hundreds of newspapers for more than an hour, and his eyes will be very tired.

In fact, after Jester stared with his eyes wide open for half an hour, his eyes started to hurt.

After resting his eyes, he was a little tired of reading the titles carefully one by one, but it was not easy for him to tell his subordinates what he was looking for.

So, he picked up the newspaper he had selected before and read it first.

These newspapers all report on the current situation in the Middle East.

It can be said that the current situation in the Middle East is like a powder keg, and tensions between the United States and Iraq have reached a point of tension.

All he had to do was draw his sword and face each other in the end.

In July, problematic negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait reached a deadlock, and on August 1, the two sides announced that the negotiations had broken down. Immediately afterwards, Iraq launched an invasion of Kuwait, and In a short period of time, they occupied the entire territory of Kuwait.

You know, before, the United States announced that Kuwait was under its protection.

This move by Iraq is simply a slap in the face. Now it has forced the Soviet Union to the brink of collapse, and it is facing the face of the United States, which is arrogant in the world.

But the United States is not doing nothing.

On the day Iraq announced the breakdown of negotiations with Kuwait, US President Bush condemned Iraq's actions as "naked aggression." It "posed a real threat" to U.S. national interests and announced a freeze on all Iraqi and Kuwaiti assets in the United States.

Immediately, the next day, the same day that Iraq brazenly invaded Kuwait, the United States launched Operation Desert Shield, a defensive operation to prevent Iraq from invading Saudi Arabia. Two U.S. naval fleets, headed by the USS Eisenhower and the USS Independence, entered the combat zone and successively increased their troops to the Middle East. So far, 500,000 troops have been stationed.

Jester continued to find more than a dozen newspapers from various major newspapers from the past few days. Read carefully.

It can be seen from the words in these newspapers how serious the situation was at that time, or rather, how serious the situation is now.

Also on the day Iraq invaded Kuwait, the United Nations passed a new resolution.

The Security Council voted 14 in favor, 0 against, and 1 abstention to pass Resolution 660, which condemned Iraq for violating the United Nations Charter and demanded its withdrawal.

The United Nations Security Council has passed 12 resolutions condemning and sanctioning Iraq. these resolutions. This puts Iraq in an extremely isolated position politically, economically, militarily and diplomatically. Among them, Resolution 678 stipulates that the deadline for Iraq to withdraw its troops is January 15, 1991. If Iraq does not withdraw its troops before the deadline, the resolution authorizes the member states of the United Nations to use "all necessary means" to implement the resolution passed by the United Nations. various resolutions.

on the second day. The United States and the Soviet Union reached a consensus and issued a "Joint Statement" demanding that Iraq "unconditionally withdraw its troops from Kuwait" and "fully restore Kuwait's sovereignty, legal regime and territorial integrity."

News of such sanctions or intimidating resolutions. It was all over the entire page at that time.

Most of the content in the next few months will be related to this.

But there are still many people who think that the war will not happen, because as long as you are not a fool, you should know. The United States, now without the constraints of the Soviet Union, is such a terrifying behemoth that no country in the world can stand up to it.

In other words, the vast majority of people believe that it is impossible for Iraq to continue to confront the United States and that it will definitely make a decision to withdraw its troops before the 15th of next year.

Jester was relieved at first.

He looked at the current oil futures and found that they had not changed much. Naturally, there were fluctuations. After all, the invasion of Kuwait was not a trivial matter. However, Jester knew that from what the United States was currently doing, Judging from the series of decisions made, war is probably inevitable.

Jester, who has memories of the future, naturally knows that the Gulf War is inevitable.

In fact, since the official launch of the Desert Shield Project, the longest and most ambitious strategic transportation plan in the history of human warfare spanning 12,000 kilometers of air transportation and 15,000 kilometers of sea transportation, the United States has absolutely no intention of If you allow it, this war will come to nothing. Even if Iraq does not want to fight, the United States will force it to continue.

As for Iraq, they don’t need the United States to force them. They want to continue on their own.

Because Iraq is now immersed in the illusion of being the most powerful country in the Middle East and the fourth military power in the world. Moreover, they also believe that they have the most advanced Soviet equipment in the world.

But Jester knew that all these things were as if they were made of paper and were completely vulnerable to the air-land integrated war model that the United States was about to demonstrate.

Think of this.

Jester dialed Sandy Weir's phone number directly.

During this time, Sandy Weir was also very busy. He was busy reorganizing the commercial credit company to form the Travelers Group.

From the phone, Jester could hear the fatigue in Sandy Weir's voice.

"Jace, when are you coming to New York? You brought Claudia with you. Shanna misses her very much." Sandy Weir has a close relationship with Jester, and they are Jester's elders, so, He said a few words kindly at first.

Jester naturally treated each other politely.

Then, the topic came up.

"Grandpa Will, have you seen the recent news? About the Middle East."

For major events at home and abroad, for financial people like Sandy Weir, this is something that must be paid attention to at all times. They even have professional consulting and strategy companies that are responsible for analyzing these matters. Not only these financial giants , oil giants, arms giants, the same is true.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Jester mention the Middle East, Sandy Weir immediately knew what Jester was talking about.

His tone couldn't help but become serious.

"What, Jace, what do you think?" Sandy Weir didn't dare to underestimate Jester, because Jester had made two very amazing predictions in front of him. If it hadn't been for these two amazing predictions, If the commercial credit company can make a lot of money with his language, it is unlikely that he will have the opportunity to reorganize the Travelers Group now.

Of course, without the newcomer Jester had for him, he wouldn't have had the chance to make a comeback.

Moreover, the way Jester is willing to be the hands-off shopkeeper and entrust everything to him is also disgusting to his own taste.

In general, Sandy Weir attaches great importance to Jester.

"I think war is inevitable." Jester said with a very firm tone.

After hearing Jester's words, Sandy Weir frowned.

"What specific news are you referring to?" For Sandy Weir, there are many people who say that there will be a war. However, no one is as sure as Jester said, because the United States is too powerful now. It is so powerful that no one will dare to resist the will of the United States.

"No."

Jester answered firmly at first, but after a slight pause, he immediately added: "However, I just received an order information sent to me by the sales department. The person who issued this order is The Pentagon, they want us to prepare 300,000 Gameboy handheld devices for them by early December."

After hearing Jester's answer, Sandy Weir first frowned fiercely.

Then, he continued in a somewhat doubtful tone: "With all due respect, based on this alone, I am afraid it is impossible to conclude that the war will definitely happen. As long as Iraq is willing to compromise on this matter, the war will not break out, and , even if the Pentagon issues an order to you, it may be just a preparation. You know, in just two months from August to now, the government has shipped more than two million tons of equipment to the Gulf, 400,000 tons of Supplies, and more than 400,000 soldiers..."

Before Sandy Weir could finish speaking.

Jester immediately interrupted his words.

"Please forgive my weakness. I really don't have any evidence now, but I have a hunch that it is absolutely impossible for Iraq to compromise or make concessions, and war is absolutely impossible to avoid."

"this……"

Although what Jester said would be extremely powerless if heard by others.

But in Sandy Weir's ears, this was not the case at all.

You must know that the several things Jester said before that were close to prophecies were the premonitions he said. This was beyond reason for Sandy Weir's disbelief.

At this time, Sandy Weir was in a daze, remembering what Jester once said to him.

"My eyes can see the future."

Suddenly, Sandy Weir's expression tightened, and in his next tone, there was no doubt about what Jester had said before, but he asked in a very urgent tone.

"When can you come to New York? At night?"

At this time, Sandy Weir could already see how much profit he would get from the futures market if the war really broke out as Jester said. (To be continued...)
